Only a win will satisfy the Atletico de Kolkata supporters in this clash with NorthEast United, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Indian Super League table.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
NorthEast United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
